Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's the press show. This is what's trending. Oh man.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Sometimes I think we used to record all the off
air stuff. Actually we shouldn't because I don't. I don't
want to have to worry about what happens to some
of it. But some of it's very well. We were
talking about a mere twenty seconds ago, and then what
we're about to talk about very different. So, hey, Jason,
I was doing this thing that you sometimes do the
other day, and.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
This is your experience.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
Yeah, I mean you do more of it than I do,
So tell me about is this normal?

Speaker 1 (00:34):
What happened to me? Oh god?

Speaker 2 (00:35):
Oh man? So trending stories headlines to start your Thursday.
Apple music is crowded, It's best album of all time?
What would you guys? You're right up with there something
And I tried to play it off, but then he
went and then I couldn't hold it in. I'm so sorry.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
It was the thumb papery that didn't sound good. Yeah, no,
I'm alright.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
What part of our equipment's about to electricute?

Speaker 1 (01:03):
I'm so sorry for that back best, Thank you.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
I appreciate that. Thank you, Kayalen. I shall carry on.
What would you guys? And here's the thing. These lists
come out all the time, and it's so subjective, and
they didn't do it based on downloads or anything. Apple
music experts and a handful of artists including Maren Morris,
Pharrell Williams, J Belve and Charlie XCX, Mark Hoppis. It
goes on and on, in addition to songwriters, producers and

(01:28):
industry professionals weight in. We don't know who those people were,
but that's how they came up with the list. So
it wasn't based on data. It's based on people's opinions.
What would you guys say, in your opinion is the
best album? Because the one I would say is not
even in the top ten. Alanis Moore said Jagged Little Pill.
I would say, is it's.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
Not even a great call. Actually it's not in the
top ten.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
Sure Confessions, Oh that's a great one too, and also
not in the top ten.

Speaker 3 (01:52):
I'm a huge I mean, back in the day, Kanye
College Shop Out is one of my favorite albums.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
Was not surprisingly not in the top ten. I don't
think anybody was willing to separate their artistic opinions from
the right from the political opinion.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
Michael Jackson's number two. Thriller from Nirvana album probably Beyonce.
Nirvana was number nine.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
Never Mind, of course from ninety one, Beyonce Lemonade twenty
sixteen at number ten. So the list went like this,
number one, according to them, The mis Education of Lord Hill. Yeah,
that's a great album nineteen ninety eight, Thriller Michael Jackson,
Abbey Road nineteen sixty nine, The Beatles, Purple Rain, Prince
and the Revolution, Blonde from Frank Ocean twenty sixteen. Oh yeah, yep,

(02:31):
that's a good songs in the Key of Life Stevie
Wonder nineteen seventy six, Kendrick Lamar.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
Good Kid, Good Kid Manson Yeah, okay.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
Back to Black Ambie Winehouse two thousand and six, never
Mind Nirvana from ninety one, and Lemonade from Beyonce twenty sixteen,
rounding out the top ten. You can't argue any of
those aren't amazing. Yeah, but again, every if you asked
five different groups of people to come up with this list,
that list would be entirely different. Some of these things
would be the same, right, I mean, Thriller would show up.

(03:02):
But then again, if you asked, you know, I don't
know a much younger person, would they thriller? They probably
wouldn't because maybe they'd never listened to it.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
Start to finish albums that deserve to be Yeah, not
one Taylor. That's surprising if you asked.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
If you asked a group of twenty somethings, Taylor would
be in there for sure.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
Is like, it's a huge album.

Speaker 3 (03:23):
I was in the top twenty though Taylor's version okay it.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
Was, yes, Yeah, the top is just the top ten
of one hundred. So okay, you said it's of all time.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
They're ranking it. Yeah, yeah, that's the best album of
all time.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
El mat is on here. A majority of people say
that Taylor Swift's political endorsement would not influence their vote.
According to a new poll conducted by some strategic company
for Newsweek, fifty five percent of responded said that a
Taylor Swift endorsement would not influence how they're going to
vote in the presidential election in November. Overall, eighteen percent
would be more likely to vote for a Swift back

(03:59):
to candidate, well fifteen percent would be less likely to
vote for a candidate endorsed by the pop superstar. Taylor
has yet to endorse anyone for the presidential election. Democrats
are nevertheless trying to court her endorsement.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
Again.

Speaker 2 (04:12):
I think this also depends on the cross section of
who all did they ask? Where were they asking? But
you asked a Taylor Swift concert. Let me assure you
everybody would do exactly what she says honestly. I mean,
I honestly think she could probably choose the president because
I think what she could do is not only not
only convinced people to go with her, but also convince

(04:34):
people who had no intention of voting or don't think
they care to go. I think it's a numbers game
if nothing else. Think of all the people that go
to her shows. I mean, if she could just get
all those people to vote, I mean that would be
a noticeable increase in votership alone.

Speaker 3 (04:50):
Yeah, they'd be fraud because a lot of them are
under eighteen.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
Well, like, how are these twelve year olds voting?

Speaker 2 (04:59):
Different convers daily and near daily marijuana use is now
more common than similar levels of drinking in the US.
An analysis of national survey data over four decades fine
that alcohol is still more widely used, but twenty twenty
two was the first time that this intensive level of
marijuana use overtook high frequency drinking. The research, based on

(05:19):
data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health,
was published on Wednesday. If I were to ever get high,
I would argue that I would prefer to do that
then be drunk consistently, because well, I mean, it's a
different sensation, but like, it's the only ill effect I
can think of in my hypothetical experience with the left

(05:42):
handed cigarette is maybe the monchies and maybe, like maybe
if I take one for sleep, hypothetically, the next morning,
I might wake up a little groggy. That's as bad
as it gets. Yeah, but drinking is a whole different year.
You're not texting your accents.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
Oh jesus, yeah, oh Jesus.

Speaker 2 (05:59):
Yeah, I need to put my phone away when I'm
having a few cocktails. But I mean, I mean there's
the nausea, there's the hangover, there's the obviously the behavioral effects.
There's a lot of stuff that doesn't seem to happen
hypothetically when using marijuana. But I think if I had
to choose, if I had to choose one or the other,
that's the one I choose. I agree with that, and

(06:19):
it's natural grows in the ground.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
Do you partake? No? You know me? No, seriously, I
don't know. She really, you can't pay me to use drugs.
I'm just not a good drug user.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
I'm not talking about heroin, that's right. Yeah, yeah, that's
a kiky quote. Yes, weed crack, same thing. I'm not
asking you to you know, in jes LSD or black
tar heroin. She reacted, and this is my I don't
I don't have any like authority to say this, but

(06:51):
to me, I don't even think about marijuana as a
drug anymore. I don't think about it any differently than
I do cigarettes or caffeine or nicotine. Honestly, Well, no,
I mean most places you can get it almost as commonly.
Where was I is it New York? Where in New
York City where you can you can buy it? Like
almost anywhere? I think the guy was explaining to me,
and maybe maybe I didn't have it right, but the

(07:13):
driver was telling me like, yeah, you can go and
get a sandwich and a and a pre roll at
the same place, Kelly, And I was like, that's incredible.
Where is this place? And how does one h how
does one arrive there? It's so humbling. Do you know
where I can get said said, can you put the
blood in the sandwich?

Speaker 1 (07:32):
Is that a sandwich? Is that possible?

Speaker 2 (07:35):
Another Apple story in What's Trending, They had a pretty
bad issue going on with the iPhones and they think
that a fix, just release will remedy the situation with
the problem. According to nine to five MAC usually say
that photos they deleted, some even years ago, have been
popping up again unexpectedly. Can you imagine the problems that
this would cause. You know, you dated somebody for a while,

(07:57):
You got some fancy pictures from him, you know, and
you got rid of them because that's the right thing
to do when you break up with somebody, and now
you're seeing somebody new, and then all of a sudden,
the camera roll pops up the fancy picture from the past,
and then you got to say no, no, no, But look
at nine to five MAC says that it's a it's
an actual unknown problem with the iPhone. The users say
the surprise picture started emerging in their phones photo libraries

(08:21):
after they updated, and they're not the images that iPhones
temporarily hold in a recently deleted folder for.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
Thirty days after you hit the lead.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
I mean, honestly, you're like, hey, I want to show
you this picture of my niece and in is it
in pops up right of somebody from a year ago?

Speaker 3 (08:36):
Right. That's also the problem when when someone texts you
a photo, now it's in your camera roll.

Speaker 1 (08:41):
Yeah, that's it's a jump scare. Yeah, yes it is. Yeah.
I mean you got it.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
When you open a camera roll, you got to be
very careful. What there's a very big diffic we have
a because of that, there's a wide range of photographs
in the camera roll. We go from Polly doing something
cute too diavo. Yeah, right, right, exactly, I need to
turn that feature off. That that's gonna get me a
big trouble. And once again the Hershey Company is being

(09:09):
sued by consumers who feel like it's products are not
living up to what is promised on the packaging. This
time it's four people in Florida suing over the Resist
products that they say don't look anything like what they
were advertised to look like. I'm sorry if you hooked
me with the packaging. By the time I open the
Hershey's thing, I'm eating it, right, I don't I'm going

(09:30):
to put it in my.

Speaker 1 (09:30):
Mouth like I don't. I'm not worried about it.

Speaker 2 (09:33):
But apparently it's supposed to look like explicit carved out
artistic designs of like pumpkins and metals, peanut butter bats
and peanut butter footballs and whatever. But people are saying
it's a blank chocolate inside of it, and the designs
were only added to the packaging, and they're saying that's
deceptive advertising.

Speaker 1 (09:52):
I mean, I'm not that upset about it.

Speaker 3 (09:55):
That's what it is. It's advertising, it's marketing. That's what
they're supposed to do. It's ai right, like we mean
to a fast food place, it don't. It never looks
like the picture.

Speaker 1 (10:08):
The day nap photos don't look like the people them
most times. What do you know about that?

Speaker 3 (10:11):
I am right?

Speaker 1 (10:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
My friend told me, yeah, you don't know anything about
that sticky weed.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
You know anything about that? She knows nothing, no, not
a thing.

Speaker 2 (10:23):
And finally, a skydiver managed to recover his phone without
a scratch after it fell from his pocket at twelve
thousand feet in Florida.

Speaker 1 (10:32):
His name was Frank.

Speaker 2 (10:33):
He regularly shares photo photos from his skydiving adventures. He
recorded a video showing the moment the phone slipped from
his pocket as he and another skydiver were performing at
Trick mid Air. He documented how he found the phone
using to Find My Device feature that provided him with
the coordinates. He followed them, which led them to a
wooded area where he recovered the phone. Everyone's probably asking
how a dear lamb case is what he had with

(10:54):
his Samsung Galaxy S twenty four old Trump in a
dear lamb case. And there were no damage at all
to the inside or outside of the phone after it
fell from twelve thousand feet Not to say that you
should try it, but if you were wondering, that's pretty remarkable. Also,
look at his camera role. What was it Samsung? So
I don't know what happens with that. He's got Scott

(11:15):
having pictures and then right next to it he's.

Speaker 3 (11:16):
Yeah, you know, Oh, if you're Samsung, you've had it
for years already before the iPhone.

Speaker 2 (11:20):
Oh yeah probably, So yeah, here we go. It's National
Lucky Penny Day today.
